	Hello,

(Actually, this is derived from NetBSD and OpenBSD's disklabel.h.)

My current setup uses this, but it's been a while since I installed
everything and I haven't the slightest recollection of how I worked
around FreeBSD disklabel checking.  I may very well have written it
by hand to the slice.

I don't track -CURRENT, but according to:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sys/sys/disklabel.h.diff?r1=1.72&r2=1.73
it seems that disklabel could accept that value as of 2002/03/28.

> Is there any serious objection to supporting this?

I'll second your request, the patch looks straightforward enough
(6 lines in src/sys/sys/disklabel.h?), at least for -CURRENT (since
-STABLE is frozen until 4.9, if I'm not mistaken).
